Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a gun barrel and trigger
flashlight, and/or laser mount structure, and in particular to a
mount structure by which flashlight, and/or laser can be quickly
mounted on or removed from a gun.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] Conventional tactical flashlight and/or laser are mounted on
a gun to improve aim. An appropriate mount is necessary to mount
the scope on the shield or barrel of the gun.
[0005] Referring to FIG. 1, the conventional flashlight and/or
laser 7 is mounted on a gun 9 via a mount 8. The mount 8 is formed
with two U-shape screws 81 and four nuts 82. One of the U-shape
screws 81 is disposed higher than the other so that both can match
the shield 91 of the gun 9. The ends of the U-shape screws 81 are
inserted into four holes 71 of the scope 7, of which the left holes
71 correspond to the right holes 71, and the ends of the U-shape
screws 81 are screwed to the nuts 82 so as to mount the flashlight
and/or laser 7 to the shield 91 of the gun 9.
[0006] The above-mentioned conventional mount 8 of a tactical
flashlight and/or laser uses the screws 81 and nuts 82 to mount the
tactical flashlight and/or laser 7 onto the gun 9. Use of this type
of mount structure is, however, wasteful of time and effort, and
thus causes inconvenience during mounting or removal of the
flashlight and/or laser. The flashlight and/or laser thus cannot be
quickly mounted on or removed from a gun.
[0007] Further, with reference to FIG. 2, which is an illustration
of a conventional tactical flashlight and laser combo 10 (e.g. U.S.
Pat. No. 6,185,854 B1), the tactical flashlight and laser combo 10
is connected to the gun separately, a shaft 6 is disposed on the
top of the tactical flashlight and laser combo 10, the shaft 6
corresponds to holes 64 at two sides of the top of the tactical
flashlight and laser combo 10, two end portions 62 of the shaft 6
penetrate the two sides of the top of the tactical flashlight and
laser combo 10, respectively, and a spring 70 is disposed under the
shaft 6 for abutting the shaft 6 to generate an upward displacement
so that the shaft 6 can be lifted and engaged with the
corresponding groove of the gun for mounting the tactical
flashlight and laser combo 10 to the gun.
[0008] However, while disassembling the tactical flashlight and
laser combo 10 from the conventional mount of the gun described
above, the user must press with great force on the end portions 62
of the shaft 6 to remove the shaft 6 from the corresponding groove
of the gun, and such operation is inconvenient.
[0009] Given the above, the conventional fixing manner of gun
tactical flashlight and laser combo still has inconvenience and
defects in practice, which need to be improved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0010] The main objection of the present invention is directed to
providing a gun barrel and trigger tactical flashlight and/or laser
mount structure, whereby the tactical flashlight and/or laser is
quickly mounted on and removed from the gun, and operation of the
mount is simple and easy.
[0011] To achieve the above objection, the present invention
provides a tactical flashlight and/or laser mount structure for
mounting a scope on a gun. The mount structure comprises a chassis
disposed on the tactical flashlight and/or laser and connected to
the gun separately. Two control buttons, each having a lift
portion, are outward- and inward-movably disposed on the chassis.
An elastic means is disposed between the two control buttons. A
movable tenon is upward- and downward-movably disposed on the
chassis and is formed with two oblique notches. The lift portions
of the control buttons selectively correspond to the oblique
notches. The movable tenon is supported above the chassis by the
least one spring. A mounting mortise is fixed on the gun, when the
movable tenon is lifted and jointed to the mounting mortise for
securing the tactical flashlight and/or laser to the gun.
[0012] The mount structure allows a tactical flashlight and/or
laser to be rapidly mounted on or removed from a gun according to
the present invention. Operation of the mount structure is simple
and easy.
[0013] Now, the present invention will be described more
specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0023] Referring to FIGS. 3-6, the present invention provides a
tactical flashlight and/or laser mount structure, and in particular
to a mount structure 3 that can mount the tactical flashlight
and/or laser 1 on the gun 2. The mount structure 3 is disposed
between the tactical flashlight and/or laser 1 and gun 2. The mount
structure 3 comprises a chassis 31, two control buttons 32, an
elastic means 33 and a movable tenon 34. The chassis 31 is disposed
on the top of the tactical flashlight and/or laser 1, the top of
the chassis 31 is recessed with a space 311, and the top, front and
rear ends of the space 311 are open for accommodating control
buttons 32, elastic means 33 and movable tenon 34. A pair of first
slideways 312 is disposed on two sides of the space 311. The
chassis 31 uses the first slideways 312 to engage with a pair of
second slide ways 35 corresponding thereto on the bottom of a
barrel 21 of the gun 2. The pair of second slideways 35 is disposed
along the vertical direction of the barrel 21 so that the tactical
flashlight and/or laser 1 can connect to the barrel 21 of gun 2
separately by vertical engagement therewith. Another, each of two
sides of the chassis 31 is disposed on a fixed portion device 36,
comprising a fixed sleeve 361, a spring 362 and a fixed portion
ball 363, the fixed sleeve 361 is fixed to two sides of the chassis
31 by a screwed or wedged connect, the spring 362 and the fixed
portion ball 363 are disposed in the fixed sleeve 361, the spring
362 is touched to the fixed portion ball 363, to make the surface
of the fixed portion ball 363 is elastically protruded to one side
of the fixed sleeve 361, and the tactical flashlight and/or laser 1
is stably connect to the barrel 21 of the gun 2 by the fixed
portion ball 363 of two fixed portion device 36 being elastically
touched to the second slide ways 35 of the bottom of the barrel 21
of the gun 2. A first aperture 313 and a second aperture 314 are
respectively disposed on each of two sides of the space 311. The
apertures 313 and 314 laterally extend along the chassis 31 and go
through to the outer wall of the chassis 31 for assembly of the
control buttons 32 and movable tenon 34.
[0024] A pressing portion 321 is disposed on each of the control
buttons 32. The inside of pressing portion 321 protrudes with a
block-shape abutting portion 322 and a cylindrical lift portion
323. The two control buttons 32 use the pressing portion 321 to
slide within two of the first apertures 313 of the chassis 31, so
that the two control buttons 32 can move outward and inward. The
abutting portions 322 and lift portions 323 of the two control
buttons 32 extend into the space 311.
[0025] The elastic means 33 is a spring or other means with
elasticity and is disposed in the space 311 of the chassis 31, two
ends of the elastic means 33 abut against the abutting portions 322
of the two control buttons 32 for disposing the elastic means 33
between two control buttons 32. The elastic force from the elastic
means 33 thus pushes the pressing portions 321 of the two control
buttons 32 out of the chassis 31 so that the user can conveniently
press the pressing portions 321 of two control buttons 32. The two
control buttons 32 then move inward, and the elastic means 33
provides the force for moving the pressed control buttons 32
outward.
[0026] The bottom of the movable tenon 34 is supported in the space
311 of the chassis 31 by two springs 324. A sliding portion 343 is
disposed on each of two sides of the movable tenon 34. The sliding
portions 343 at the two sides of the movable tenon 34 are lower
than the second apertures 314 of the chassis 31 so that the sliding
portions 343 at the two sides of the movable tenon 34 can slide up
and down within the second apertures 314 of the chassis 31. The
movable tenon 34 can thus move up and down with respect to the top
of the chassis 31. The movable tenon 34 is recessed with two
oblique notches 341, the oblique notches 341 are oblique channels
that its inside is rose to the outside, the lift portions 323 of
the two control buttons 32 is corresponded to the oblique notches
341 of the movable tenon 34.
[0027] Two sides of the elastic means 33 abut against the abutting
portions 322 of the two control buttons 32 and the control buttons
32 are thereby moved outward. The lift portions 323 of the two
control buttons 32 correspond to the bottom of the two oblique
notches 341 on the movable tenon 34 (as shown in FIG. 6).
Therefore, the lift portions 323 of the two control buttons 32 can
push the oblique notches 341 of the movable tenon 34 to keep the
movable tenon 34 lifting in a general state (i.e. the two control
buttons 32 are not pressed).
[0028] After the above control buttons 32, elastic means 33 and
movable tenon 34 are assembled with the chassis 31, so that the
repressed board 38 and the board 36 covers the movable tenon 34,
the control buttons 32 and the elastic means 33 for preventing the
movable tenon 34, the control buttons 32 and the elastic means 33
from exposure outside or getting out, as well as providing
shielding and dust-proofing, for example.
[0029] The bottom of the barrel 21 of the gun 2 is fixed with a
mounting mortise 37. The mounting mortise 37 is laterally disposed
along the barrel 21. When the tactical flashlight and/or laser 1
uses the first slideway 312 to engage with the second slideway 35
of the barrel 21 of the gun 2 for fixing, the movable tenon 34
keeps lifting in a general state. Hence, while the movable tenon 34
corresponding to the mounting mortise 37 on the bottom of the
barrel 21 of the gun 2, the movable tenon 34 is engaged with the
mounting mortise 37 so that the tactical flashlight and/or laser 1
can be fixed on the barrel 21 of the gun 2. Therefore, the tactical
flashlight and/or laser 1 can be quickly mounted on the gun 2.
[0030] Additionally, as shown in FIG. 7, the tactical flashlight
and/or laser 1 is detached from the gun 2, by just pressing the
pressing portions 321 of the two control buttons 32 (as FIG. 3).
The control buttons 32 then move inward; at this time, the lift
portions 323 of the control buttons 32 is slid up in the two
oblique notches 341 and correspond to the oblique notches 341 on
the bottom surface of the movable tenon 34, the movable tenon 34
falls down due to the lift portions 323 pushed. Therefore, the
movable tenon 34 departs from the mounting mortise 37 so that the
tactical flashlight and/or laser 1 are fast quickly detached from
the barrel 21 of the gun 2.
[0031] Therefore, the present invention can use the mount structure
3 to quickly mount the tactical flashlight and/or laser 1 to the
gun 2 and detach the tactical flashlight and/or laser 1 from the
gun 2 without use of any fixing means, such as screws and nuts. The
present invention is simply and easily operated without wasting
time and effort and can achieve the objection for fast assembling
and disassembling.
[0032] Given the above, the present invention does improve the
conventional tactical flashlight and/or laser mount structure that
screws the tactical flashlight and/or laser to the gun and wastes
time and effort. The conventional tactical flashlight and/or laser
mount structure causes inconvenience during mounting and removal
and thus cannot achieve the objection for fast mounting and removal
of a tactical flashlight and/or laser. Therefore, the present
invention really belongs to a new model product with industrial
applicability, novelty and inventive step and completely meets the
applied element of a new model patent. The applicant has applied
for the present invention according to the Patent Law and the
subject application should be examined in detail and granted a
patent right to protect the inventor's right.
[0033] While the invention has been described in terms of what is
presently considered to be the most practical and preferred
embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention needs not be
limited to the disclosed embodiment. On the contrary, it is
intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements
included within the spirit and tactical flashlight and/or laser of
the appended claims which are to be accorded with the broadest
interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and
similar structures.
